Four years after winning the Palme d’Or in a unanimous vote for “Blue is the Warmest Color,” Abdellatif Kechiche has finally returned with his new movie. “Mektoub My Love: Canto Uno” premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier today and, just like Kechiche’s previous feature, it’s already courting controversy over its graphic sex scenes and male gaze. First reactions online slam the film for objectifying its female characters, and even the reviews that somewhat enjoyed the director’s movie single out the camera’s male gaze as a serious problem.
And you thought Blue is the Warmest Color was ruined by male gaze… Mektoub My Love is Male Gaze: The Movie. It’s ridiculous.

The exact 180 minute duration of ‘Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno’ is a piece of apolitical proof for the masturbatory arrogance of Kechiche

Ten Screen critics select their hidden film gems of the year.Fionnuala Halligan, chief film critic
A Date For Mad Mary
Dir Darren Thornton
This big-hearted Irish romcom, which shared the top prize at Galway this summer, has all the smarts to hit with younger audiences should it get the chance. Just released from prison, surly, boozy Mary pines for her bridezilla Bff who has moved on. Now she needs a date for the wedding and rarely has someone looked for love with less interest. Thornton directs a scuzzily radiant Seana Kerslake as the miserably mad Mary, wildly unpredictable and widely misunderstood, in a film that feels like the love child of Weekend and Once.

The honorary vice president of Fipresci has been a contributor to Screen for 15 years.
Long-standing contributor Dan Fainaru is to become critic-at-large for Screen International, a roving role which caps his 15-year relationship with the title.
Based in Israel, Fainaru has been a film critic for over 55 years and is honorary vice president of Fipresci. He has served as critic for Screen across the full range of international film festivals since he joined the tile.
His critic-at-large role will afford him the opportunity to assess and review titles outside the driver of Screen’s daily coverage at festivals. Formerly the director of the Israeli Film Institute, Fainaru edits Israel’s only film magazine, Cinematheque.
Screen International’s reviews editor Fionnuala Halligan said: “Dan’s knowledge and taste is unrivalled, and I am looking forward to working with him in this new capacity as he becomes an ambassador at large for Screen’s busy reviews desk.”

To do this, instead of taking the normal route of talking to Sky Sports News and the like, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley likes to send a couple of his subordinates for a face-to-face meeting with a select few of the clubs fans.

He was 64, according to the paper, though some sources list his age as 67. Marshall's thunderous bass earned him gigs as a wrestling announcer, DJ and voice-over actor. Yet he became best known for uttering just two words while pitching Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal as the iconic spokestiger beginning in 1999: "They're g-r-r-r-e-a-t."
